What would be a really useful mod for dillo would be if it could launch another browser with the current web page URL.

I don't think such a mod will ever com into existence. But you can simply do this:

1) In Dillo, from the webpage that won't display properly, hightlight the contents of Dillo's address bar and hit "Ctrl+c" to copy.
2) Open up a full-powered browser, hightlight the address bar, and hit "Ctrl+v" to paste. Hit "Enter" and boom! Done.

I fully agree with Clive - what a useful feature that would be, and especially as a right-click feature upon the page for the "defaultbrowser script" which we normally use in Puppy.

Great idea Clive! I just wished like others around here that I could do more advanced programming as it's something I'd love making. Maybe Tech could achieve this as he's wonderful with these sort of patches.

I also use Dillo quite frequently ( I believe I've said this above somewhere? ), most often right here on the forum, but also on other pages mainly for quickly getting the news/info that I want and then getting out. Space.com mainly comes to mind as they use more assorted flash and java ads than I can easily block and Dillo presents me just the text and photos I want and none of those ads. Yet occasionally I do need to use SeaMonkey to view something in finer detail. Calling it forth from a patch would be so very helpful!

When viewing forum posts using Tman’s Dillo 2.2 some characters do not display properly - e.g. the apostrophe (‘) and double quotation marks (“”) and less importantly some accented “foreign" letters.

It seems that only curly versions of the punctiation marks fail to display properly.

The screen shots show two examples of the same text from a forum post. Using Dillo I can change both the font and display colour to say, Comic Sans blue as shown, but all my efforts at research, thought and trial and error have failed.

It’s not of great moment, though any help will be appreciated.

My regards

PS I tried aragon’s 2.2 version and Tman’s later version with identical results
